The door creaked lightly as Noah pushed it open. Timmy, who was whining behind the door, and scratching it in his anxiety, backed away on his four just enough for Noah to step inside the room.
When Timmy saw Noah, he instinctively released a growl. Animals could sense who was good to them and who wasn't. Timmy knew that Noah did not like him or his master. Thus he too was not fond of Noah.
"Growl once more, and I will have you sent to the compound," Noah warned. He did not like how the mutt growled at him, as he showed defiance in front of him, something that Noah did not take lightly.
More importantly, Noah was not nice to those who showed imprudence in front of him.
The only reason he hadn't thrown this mutt out of the manor was because Ari cared for this mutt. The last time he suggested sending Timmy away, Ari had fought with him to the point that it alarmed his grandfather.
